We’ve just unveiled the Shuttle, handy for those short hops to and from your spaceship. At £8 a pop you’d be remiss to skip these!

Shuttle, for all your shuttling needs.

Also amazing value is the Miniature Mega Deal, 12 minis and a load of other stuff for £35!

Lots for not a lot 🙂

We’ve also unlocked a tonne of FREE goodies, check out the banner below:

The Mighty Orange Banner of FREE Stuff 🙂

And not forgetting the bonus minis:

Bonus!

PURGE!

We’ve also just unveiled more Purge super beasties, the Gatherers and the Annihilator! The Gatherers are working Purge with a nasty streak and the Annihilator is an oversized killing machine that its better to run from than fight! Both need to be unlocked in the last 24 hours!

We are here to kick your bottom.

Overall the Kickstarter is a cracking deal, don’t wait until retail! Core Space is live on Kickstarter NOW!

We’re now just over halfway through our Kickstarter campaign and have unlocked a shedload of FREE stretch goals and cool add-ons. The Free stretch goals include two new trader teams, the crews of the Skylark and the Poseidon and a tonne of terrain.

That’s a lot of FREE stuff!

Let’s not forget the bonus minis either!

Add-ons include two mission packs that come with their own terrain and mission log. Outbreak! has the traders mount a rescue mission in the middle of a derelict ship overrun by an alien infestation.

Get to the reactor!

In Shootout at Zed’s the traders get caught in the middle of a firefignt between the Galactic Corps and the criminals known as Zed’s crew.

It’s all go at Zed’s!

Other add-ons include the Metropolitan pack with more civilians and security cops.

More city folk to fill up your streets 🙂

TITAN PLEDGE

We’ve also opened up a new pledge, the Titan. This is an extra large set and comes with its own mission and terrain, Accord on Titan where the traders form an alliance with each other and the usually hostile Galactic Corps to fight off the Purge! Titan also comes bundled with the other two misson packs.

TITAN!!!

With less than two weeks to go jump in now and help us unlock more stretch goals 🙂 Core Space is live on Kickstarter NOW!

We now have an entry on Board Game Geek if you’re into that sort of thing 🙂

Core space has funded! The game is now official and with luck will be slamming down onto gaming tables this time next year 🙂

Check out what’s in the boxed game:

We’ve got just over 24 days to pump out as many free stretch goals and cool add-ons as we can. First add-on up is the OUTBREAK! mission pack. A self contained mission that can be played as a one-off or as part of a campaign that comes with it’s own terrain.

What’s this creepy alien goo? Eugh! It’s got into my shoe!

Reskinned reactors and cell walls alongside the very popular infestation for a very reasonable 8 Universal Assets (Earth money is also acceptable).

As for stretch goals we’ve already unlocked Director Zool, he’s now FREE to every backer who took a core pledge. A big cheese in the Galactic Corps his job is to make your life as
difficult as possible.

ZOOOOOLLLL!!!!!

We’ve got several new characters lined up just waiting to be unlocked along with FREE terrain.

He’s a naughty crim!

He’s a tough guy with a heart of gold. Except it’s not.

He’s a thinker, not a fighter. He’ll still kick your butt, though.

Speaking of FREE (the capitals are a running joke if you wondered) 😉 we also have bonus minis for our core backers, minis that aren’t in the retail box but will be FREE to our backers, including two criminal gang members, Hobb and Chunk, two Galactic guards, each in a different pose and four harvester Purge, the foot soldiers of the creepy synthetic species out to get you!

For you, sir? No pounds 🙂

In a sleepy village hall in deepest Worcestershire we had our second ever Battle Systems Game Day. We invited some of our previous backers to beta test our prototype sci-fi game and a fun time was had by all.

The prototype set up on the day.

The guys got to play a full game, check out the miniatures and artwork and be gently grilled on what they hope to see in the final version.

The new Kickstarter is pencilled in for mid November, as always we’ll let you know more as we get closer to the time.

BEASTS OF WAR AWARDS

We’ve been nominated for ‘Best terrain product of 2016’ by the subscribers to Beasts of War. Last year we won the award for our Fantasy Dungeon terrain, this time it’s for our Urban Apocalypse. If you enjoyed our Urban terrain please feel free to show your approval by voting for us 🙂

Nearly all of the items from the Kickstarter are available so if you missed the campaign due to a poor alignment of the planets or are missing a precious item due to your dog eating your wallet you can now jump in and feast on the cardboardy goodness! No need to push and shove or use those specially sharpened elbows we’ve plenty of stock for everyone 🙂

Each gives you a tonne of cool war-torn scatter, they’ll shabby up your terrain a treat!

Post apocalyptic chic 🙂

SCI-FI GAME

As you may know we’ve been working on a full game for our next Kickstarter. We’ve kept it close to our chest during development but we can now confirm the following; it will be a Sci-fi tabletop skirmisher with miniatures, card terrain, dice, cards, a game mat, the lot. The core pledge will be a complete game in itself with a load of cool expansions available.

The game is set in the same universe as our Sci-fi II terrain and will be compatible with our previous terrain, especially Sci-fi II, so if you want to mix and match or expand on the game you can. The new terrain has a more run down cyberpunk feel ideal for rain washed streets on alien worlds or derelict hulks in deep space.

Set in the fringes of Human space your heroes will need to learn how to adapt and survive, allocate resources, plan campaigns and team up with other players when needed – being handy with a gun is only part of the game.

THREAT LEVEL: HIGH!

Anyway, here’s a pic to whet your appetite, this is one of the Purge, a species of machine that wants nothing more than to break you down into useful components! We’ll let you know more about the game in later updates. In the meantime…

BETA TESTERS WANTED!

We’ve been doing closed beta testing with our prototype for a while now and want to widen our test audience; that means we’re inviting you good folks to join in. If you’re within travelling distance to Redditch in the West Midlands, UK, and are available in October we’d like you to join us, to either play the game or just spectate. The specific date(s) and venue will depend on the numbers attending.
